During the last four years, the 2-wheeler market in Germany has been stable, keeping the level hit in the 2020, when covid emergency pushed up the market at over 230.000 annual sales.
Indeed, a weak economy and low consumption rates, with high inflation are not supporting demand for new motorcycles. And considering that the expected push up created by electric vehicles is vanishing after an early start, the market is having difficulties to grow up.
And so it was during the first half of the 2024 as the market is declining, reaching 131.137 sales (-5.1%) with next half expectations still not positive.
Looking at top manufacturer’s performance, Honda is confirming the previous year leadership with sales down 8.3%.
In second place BMW is near (-0.6%) followed by Piaggio, third with sales down 15%.
In 4th place Yamaha (+6.4%) ahead of Kawasaki (+4.3%), KTM (+0.8%) and Aprilia (+1.1%).
